Obesity
Semra Lamky, Emotional Peace Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP), MACP, Bsc
I support individuals in exploring the emotional, psychological, and behavioural aspects of their relationship with food, body image, and self-esteem. Obesity is often influenced by complex factors such as trauma, stress, anxiety, and societal pressure, and my approach is compassionate, nonjudgmental, and rooted in understanding each person's unique story. I help clients identify underlying emotional triggers, develop healthier coping strategies, and build a more positive and sustainable relationship with their bodies and overall well-being. My goal is to empower individuals to make meaningful changes while fostering self-acceptance and resilience.

Paighe Rojas
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Weight concerns are often intertwined with stress, emotional eating, shame, trauma, sleep, and identity—not just “discipline.” Therapy supports sustainable behavior change by focusing on nervous system regulation, self-compassion, and the real drivers behind patterns. The aim is respectful health-focused change, not punishment.
9 Years Experience

Ottawa's identity as Canada's capital and a major hub for the federal public service creates a therapy landscape shaped by the particular stresses of government work — including bureaucratic frustration, political exposure, and the weight of careers lived in proximity to national policy decisions. The city's large bilingual population means both French- and English-speaking therapists are essential, with many practitioners offering services in both official languages. The Ottawa Hospital and Montfort Hospital provide institutional mental health resources alongside a private practice community serving the Glebe, Westboro, and Barrhaven areas. Ottawa's significant visible minority communities — including large Lebanese, Chinese, and Somali populations — drive growing demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists.
